Career Highlight

As the pandemic began to pick up momentum in the early part of 2020, Bill was able to justify to senior leadership the need to keep the early career programs active. This was not only important to maintain the pipeline of candidates into the organization but also to ensure we don't take the opportunity away from students who worked hard to get to that point. Bill was able to transition all of the intern programing to a completely virtual experience and maintain a high satisfaction score with all participants.
